When you upload your site which also contains the file named ipn.php you do this using a CPanel that is provided from your website host. Or you can use a third party application like WinSCP. So, you connect to your host and there you put your files using the File Manager provided in the CPanel. These files that you just uploaded have some properties named FILE PERMISSIONS. Right click on a file and select to Change Permissions. Then you will get a new window where you can set the permissions to 755. It means the file ipn.php has now the right to write new files on the server host. Now, ipn.php can create the new temporary files that are created when a payment is made. Look in the following screenshot how it should look like. http://s15.postimage.org/lbsdu2vnv/ipn.png I hope this helps you. Have a nice weekend. You don’t have to change anything in ipn.php.

Remember, not everyone has experience with scripts, therefore it would be good if you were more detail-oriented. I do wish to purchase the removal option but in order for you to increase sales you must give support-that's how legitimate business operate.

Make sure you change permission to 755 for ipn.php. This means it needs execute access. Otherwise it won't work. It may also be required to set 755 to another files either. About the line 26, it just set an variable. I don't see what the problem could be. The script is all right by default. Make sure you change permission to 755 for ipn.php.
